Temp Spacecraft Tcraft

BIG BRAIN DEVELOPS THE TCRAFT - TEMPORARY CRAFT IN SPACE

The Tcraft is a type of space craft, lofted into space, that can temporary function. This is an amateur hobby program to create a low cost space craft that can reside in space for a finite amount of time.

Designs are varied, including the drop craft (gravity operated), the glide craft (rides on a tenuous surface of air), the self pro-pulsed craft (carries an on board engine), the elemental craft (makes use of surrounding elements for propulsion), and the externally fueled craft (driven by fuel beamed directly to the craft).
